Honoring Marie Deans
Donation protected
Marie McFadden Deans spent her adult life fighting against the death penalty. Her work took her onto South Carolina and Virginia's death rows, where she became an advocate and a friend for the condemned men. And her dedication took her to the death house, where she stood "death watch" with 34 men. Marie's work took a terrible toll on her health, and she died in April of 2011 at the relatively young age of 70.
Marie is buried in her family plot in the historic Sardinia-Gable Cemetery in Clarendon County, South Carolina. Because of the very modest size of her estate, Marie currently does not have a head stone on her grave. Her friends, family and colleagues are now raising money for a fitting memorial. Would you be willing to donate money to help us purchase a headstone so we can honor this wonderful woman and dedicated death penalty abolitionist? Our hope to raise $3000 by July 1, 2017.
